Much more than “just” Astronomy, here’s an Opportunity to Discover our World, Starting January 20! Free for Some!

For a lot of my life, I understood the colors we see as, well, of course the colors that the world is.  End of story.  But then I heard about infrared light.  And ultraviolet light.  And found out about the whole “electromagnetic spectrum” – all of which are the same thing – all “light”, just in different colors.  Most colors of which we can’t see.  To realize that we only see a tiny slice of the colors that exist was mind opening!

Many other basic concepts like that are included in this course.

Free Seminar on Religious Attacks on Education, This Saturday (September 20), 5 PM EDT!

Our education system – and hence our free society – is under constant attack by religious/authoritarian people.  Here’s a chance to find out more, and be ready to help us all stay free.  You can do your part first by  simply finding out, such as with this free online seminar (link in post above), 5 pm EDT Saturday, September 20. 

You can join us online for The Cosmic Signal May 8th! [Starstuff, Contemplating]

One of the most powerful discoveries given to us by science has been learning the astounding and glorious history of how we got here.  A key part of that discovery was the finding of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB, see picture below), literally the glow of the Big Bang or Great Radiance itself!  The actual structure which gave us our earliest baby picture of ourselves was under threat from developers (for building a condo unit – seriously?), but with our efforts and the efforts of many others last year, was saved!  Join us this coming Thursday, 7 pm EDT to celebrate!  You have to register ahead of time to attend.
